I would like to clarify the technical capabilities of the BLUETTI EP600 + B500 system. Can it operate in single-phase output mode with a power of 6 kW, or is it limited to 2 kW per phase?
Hi @OleksiiS
Each Phase can deliever up to 2kw of power which results in 6kw of total power output.
If i remember right, there was somekind of mode in the App that allows to have a phase a bit more than 2kw. But i own the EP2000, so cant say for sure.
@SigiKa You own a EP600 right? Can you help us with the specified mode?
greetings

One phase is limited to 2 kW, and the technical specifications indicate a short-term overload for “off-grid” operation: 9000 VA (10 s), 6600 VA (10 min).
If these values are exceeded, the over-current protection kicks in and switches off the EP600!
The installation instructions specifically point out that the backup load must be distributed in such a way that no phase is ever loaded with more than 2 kW.
The only way I know of to exceed 2 kW per phase for a longer period of time is to connect two EP600s in parallel “off-grid parallel.” This allows 4 kW per phase to be supplied, for a total of 12 kW.

Phase sharing can be activated to prevent an unbalanced load on the grid. This means that if there is a unilateral load on one phase, the EP600 would automatically feed back into another phase. The smart meter would accumulate this and the grid consumption + feed-in would result in zero.
This is only useful if an AC inverter is connected to a single phase, creating an unbalanced load (some grid operators limit the maximum unbalanced load; for example, ours is a maximum of 3.6 kW single-phase). If the inverter feeds more into one phase, the EP600 could intervene on the other phases and thus generate less unbalanced load… but this does not help with the maximum output of 2 kW.
Ohh okay, thanks for clarify!
